Are you considering workplace drug testing? If so, you may be wondering about the different types of drug testing available. The two most common methods are oral fluid testing and urine testing.
Oral fluid drug testing, also known as saliva testing, is a non-invasive and convenient method of workplace drug testing. It involves collecting a sample of saliva from the mouth using a collection device, which is then inserted into the test kit for onsite analysis. Oral fluid testing can detect drug use up to a few days, depending on the specific drug and usage frequency. For employers who need to conduct random, incident or cause drug tests, oral fluid testing may be a more convenient and less invasive option than urine testing.
Urine testing, on the other hand, has been around longer than oral fluid drug testing. It can detect drug use up to a several days to a few weeks, depending on the specific drug and usage frequency. While it may be more cumbersome to collect and transport the sample over oral fluid testing, it is still a widely used method of drug testing due to its lower cost per test.
Both oral fluid testing and urine testing have their advantages and disadvantages when it comes to workplace drug testing.
Ultimately, the choice of workplace drug testing method will depend on the specific needs and circumstances of the employer. Consult our expert drug testing professionals to determine which method is best for your needs.
